The Fars news agency carried a story Monday about a 13-year-old boy recruited by a rebel group in Syria to be a sniper shooting anyone who walked by. Fars said the group was Ahfad ar-Rasul, which is funded by the Qatari government. Fars said the group is “approved by the Obama Administration,” to make the point that Washington backs murderers. But the group is not supported by Washington.
